Tocilizumab ELISA Kit

Tocilizumab ELISA Kit is a quantitative ELISA kit for detection of Tocilizumab.

Tocilizumab is a humanized IgG1 monoclonal antibody to the IL-6 receptor that is used largely as therapy of refractory rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory arthritides. Tocilizumab blocks the action of IL-6, which is a key proinflammatory cytokine that mediates a wide spectrum of biologic activities including activation of T cells, differentiation of B cells, induction of acute phase reactants, proliferation of fibroblasts, and damage to cartilage and joints. IL-6 levels are elevated in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis. In controlled trials and open label studies, tocilizumab therapy led to improvements in symptoms and laboratory abnormalities associated with several forms of inflammatory arthritis. Tocilizumab was approved for use in the United States in 2010 and current indications include rheumatoid arthritis, giant cell arteritis and both the polyarticular and systemic forms of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (formerly juvenile rheumatoid arthritis). Tocilizumab is considered a disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) and improves signs and symptoms of disease and decreases cartilage and tissue destruction.

Target	Tocilizumab
Reactivity	Human
Tested Applications	ELISA
Recommended dilutions	Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
Storage	Shipped at 4 °C. Upon receipt, store the kit according to the storage instruction in the kit's manual.
Validity	The validity for this kit is 6 months.
Stability	The stability of the kit is determined by the rate of activity loss. The loss rate is less than 5% within the expiration date under appropriate storage conditions. To minimize performance fluctuations, operation procedures and lab conditions should be strictly controlled. It is also strongly suggested that the whole assay is performed by the same user throughout.

Note	This product is for research use only. The range and sensitivity is subject to change. Please contact us for the latest product information. For accurate results, sample concentrations must be diluted to mid-range of the kit. If you require a specific range, please contact us in advance or write your request in your order comments. Please note that our ELISA and CLIA kits are optimised for detection of native samples, rather than recombinant proteins. We are unable to guarantee detection of recombinant proteins, as they may have different sequences or tertiary structures to the native protein.
